A Role for Central Nervous Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Signaling in the Consolidation of Declarative Memories
TLDR
It is indicated that intranasally administered growth hormone releasing-hormone, by counteracting endogenous GHRH release, impairs hippocampal memory processing, providing first evidence for a critical contribution of central nervous somatotropic activity to hippocampus-dependent memory consolidation.

Sleep, Hormones, and Memory
Central Nervous Insulin Signaling in Sleep-Associated Memory Formation and Neuroendocrine Regulation
TLDR
Results indicate that sleep-associated memory consolidation is not a primary mediator of insulin’s acute memory-improving effect, but that the peptide acts on mechanisms that diminish the subsequent encoding of novel information.
About sleep's role in memory.
TLDR
This review aims to comprehensively cover the field of "sleep and memory" research by providing a historical perspective on concepts and a discussion of more recent key findings.
Sleep for cognitive enhancement
TLDR
The enhancing potential of sleep is discussed, mainly focusing on the domain of learning and memory, by discussing different methodological caveats and ethical issues that should be considered when thinking about using sleep for cognitive enhancement in everyday applications.

Memory consolidation in human sleep depends on inhibition of glucocorticoid release.
TLDR
It is shown in healthy humans that an inhibition of glucocorticoid release from the adrenals serves to support declarative memory consolidation during sleep, and blocking mineralocortioid receptors by canrenoate did not affect memory, suggesting inactivation of glucOCorticoids receptors to be the essential prerequisite for memory consolidationduring early sleep.

TLDR
Increasing central nervous cholinergic activation during SWS-rich sleep by posttrial infusion of 0.75 mg of the cholinesterase inhibitor physostigmine completely blocked SWs-related consolidation of declarative memories for word pairs in human subjects, in line with predictions that a low Cholinergic tone duringSWS is essential forDeclarative memory consolidation.
Declarative memory consolidation: mechanisms acting during human sleep.
TLDR
It is shown that declarative memory benefits mainly from sleep periods dominated by SWS, whereas there is no consistent benefit of this memory from periods rich in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

TLDR
This review focuses on experiments in humans examining the regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system during nocturnal sleep, and suggests that this trias of symptoms may benefit from intranasal treatment with neuropeptides like vasopressin and growth hormone releasing hormone.
Effects of Early and Late Nocturnal Sleep on Declarative and Procedural Memory
TLDR
The experiments for the first time dissociate specific effects of early and late sleep on two principal types of memory, declarative and procedural, in humans, and the benefit from sleep on recall depended on the phase of sleep and on the type of memory.

TLDR
Support that the CNS is a target for GH emerges from observations indicating that the hormone may cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and from studies confirming the presence of GH receptors in the brain.

Effects of growth hormone-releasing hormone and somatostatin on sleep EEG and nocturnal hormone secretion in male controls.
TLDR
The effects of episodic GHRH administration upon SWS, GH and cortisol secretion were opposite to those previously reported for corticotropin-releasing hormone, which supports the view that neuroregulation of human sleep involves an interaction of central G HRH and corticotropic hormone.
